By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine - A lie, in other words, which makes every sinner complicit with Satan, the Father of Lies, even as it causes the sun to shudder. And what we know about Satan, of course, is that he was doing it from the beginning. He’s a murderer, too, if we are to believe Jesus, who tells us as much in the Gospel of John (8:44): He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the Father of Lies.
